I continue to make progress on my Betsy McCall dollhouse, inspired by some new paper purchases from JoAnn Fabrics. I decided that this room would
be in grey tones, as a complement to the adjoining rooms, which are in shades of yellow, cream, and grey. I had actually tried
to wallpaper the space a few months ago in yellow and white tones, but the
paper was way too thin. I loved the patterns but they did not hold up at all
with the wallpaper glue.

This new paper with the cross pattern is
heavy-duty with a nice texture. The crosses also helped to guide me as I cut
the paper, ensuring even edges when I cut the paper to size. The back wall has
one of my favorite textured "pebble" papers from Kate's Paperie; I've
used it a number of times in my houses. In fact, the adjacent bedroom has the
cream version.

For the flooring, I tried a new vinyl paper in a grey wood tone -- it worked really well!

The photo below shows the reality of this hobby -- lots of hidden mess to ensure pretty pictures!

There is one room left, the main ground floor space that is intended to be the kitchen. Let's see what I come up with...! Until then, some parting shots of this new space, along with its neighbors.
